Somerset is only a short drive from my parent's house and when we walked in, Mom and Jake were chatting amiably on a first name basis. While they carried on, I picked out a nice water bottle for Gayle and enjoyed the welcoming space. And the meds, plus their daily exercise and nutritional choices must be working because at 76 and 81, my parents are in better shape than I am!

In Ames, I notice the Hy-Vee brand in several places. There are 2 grocery stores at opposite ends…read moreof the Lincoln Highway, and associated Liquor Stores and Gasoline Stations. There's also this Drug Store, which looks to be part of a yet-to-be realized development initiative at and around the old Train Station. Gayle was at a Salon at the Train Station getting her nails done. After all, my fabulous wife must mind the beauty details! However, with the Iowa humidity, she would probably go for shorter hair if we actually lived here. Since this takes time, I decided to walk down Main Street and look around. After walking around the Train Station and admiring the architecture (and the safety fence near the tracks), I first wandered into Hy-Vee Drugstore and for some air conditioned relief. This place is a lot larger than it looks from the outside. They have a nice selection of the usual stuff, plus gifts and wine/beer. I ended up buying a padded wine holder to later (and successfully) take back a bottle of Templeton Rye Whiskey back to Iowa. I'll probably be back the next time I'm in town for any travel-related supplies or to just kill a little time.

The manager said to me that he cannot help that he had other cars in front of me. And then I said what is the point of making an appointment if you can't hold the appointment. I'm not blaming them mechanics because they probably worked their a**** off for s*** money.

There are employees constantly making sure everything stays that way. Unfortunately, because of the mass quantity of stock, the quality is sometimes overlooked; mainly in the produce section. The produce can be hit or miss whether or not it's gone bad and just hasn't been pulled or is good with a few "bad apples". The samples are definitely a nice touch while shopping and the employees handling them tend to know about the products, thankfully. Some employees seem to do everything they can to avoid being asked a question, while others go out of their way to help you, so service can be hit or miss as well. The food court is great! Lol. The low prices for the food are awesome and the food tastes great, so win-win there! Overall, this is a clean store with quite a bit to choose from, I just wish the fresh produce was better kept up with as well as the employee interactions.

It is disappointing to see that Sam's Club is no longer the clear leader in fuel pricing within…read moreAmes. Historically, their competitive gas prices were one of the primary factors that made recommending a membership to friends and family an easy decision. This shift became more noticeable when they transitioned from offering U87 to U88, yet pricing comparisons are often still made against U87 rates elsewhere in town. As a result, the perceived savings are less compelling. In fact, the gas station near my home is currently offering fuel at nearly the same price without requiring a membership, which further diminishes the value proposition.
